Christmas – Page 5 – Leonas Lines

Christmas is a special time for me!
Yet I know for some it may not be.
And so at this time of the year,
When my heart is full of cheer,
I want to also acknowledge you,
Who may not be feeling as I do.
Though my wish is bright and clear,
For a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
I want to offer these thoughts too,
Of Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings to you.
And even for those who don’t celebrate,
I do not hesitate,
To wish you well in all you do,
And offer my thanks to you.
I appreciate all who follow me,
And where ever you may be,
I send my heartfelt greetings,
and hope for many more poetic meetings!

A Gift of Love

Christmas Eve!
Do good things come in small packages?
A babe wrapped in love!

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths,
and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 NKJV

Wonders of His Love

Amazing
Love! Mine to receive
Eternally!
Come to earth
As a babe born in a manger.
Jesus Christ, God’s Son!

Happy? Holidays

Christmas Day countdown.
Where is the season of cheer?
Everyone’s rushing.
In five days it’ll be all over,
And then New Year’s will be here.

Christmas Presence

Posted on December 18, 2013December 27, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Gifts!
Christmas,
Coming soon!
Wrapping presents
For my dear family.
This makes me pause to ponder
Upon the first Christmas gift,
Who was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
God’s ultimate present to mankind
Is still available to be received.
